Ever since the BBC announced it would be continuing with its world favorite show, Top Gear, despite the departure of presenting trio Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, speculation has been rife over who might take the reins. The first announcement was that Chris Evans, BBC Radio 2 DJ, TV presenter and the one who is not Captain America, would take over as the show’s main host. In other words, he is the man filling Clarkson’s shoes.Other names were also discussed as possibilities for joining Evans as co-hosts on the popular motoring show (which has been running since 1977), but few could have guessed the next name announced would be former Friends actor, Matt LeBlanc. While LeBlanc might have appeared to be totally left field, he is in fact a self-confessed petrol-head and car enthusiast, and still holds the Top Gear record for the fastest lap time set by a ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’.Now the BBC have added to the presenting lineup, announcing no less than four new presenters who will be joining Evans and LeBlanc when Top Gear returns this May. Racing driver Sabine Schmitz, YouTube star Chris Harris, F1 pundit Eddie Jordan and motoring journalist Rory Reid have all been added to the roster Reid is a motoring journalist who has been writing about cars for nearly 20 years. He also helped launch CNET UK’s Car Tech channel and has appeared on Sky 1’s Gadget Geeks and the YouTube channel Fast, Furious and Funny. Here’s Reid’s official statement, too:“To be the only person to make it through the open audition process makes me immensely proud. I’ve been a Top Gear fan for decades, but more than that, I live and breathe cars in a way that is perfectly compatible with the show.”The new presenting lineup brings about a big change for Top Gear and could possibly see the show taken in a different direction given the strong background these new presenters have in motor racing. In recent years, Clarkson et al have been focused on pushing regular cars to their limits, or modifying them to take on epic challenges. Could we see more high end sports models being tested instead, and a focus on speed over stamina?What do you think of the new lineup? Will you be watching Top Gear when it returns, or will you be waiting for Clarkson, Hammond and May to launch their new car show on Amazon Prime later in the year?The new season of Top Gear will debut on the BBC in May of 2016.Source: Top Gear TV

Angelina Jolie was a compelling action hero in 2010’s Salt, a film about a dedicated CIA agent revealed to be a Russian sleeper agent. Also starring Liev Schreiber (Ray Donavan) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Martian), the spy thriller was packed with plot twists, exciting chase sequences, and daring escapes.Salt earned decent reviews as a fun action flick, and $118+ million in domestic box office, though it needed the heftier foreign market earnings to overcome its $110 million budget. With Salt 2 losing traction ever since Jolie rejected the initial script back in 2012, it looks like a new TV series may be our first new glimpse at the character.Screen Daily reports that Sony Pictures Entertainment is developing a “remake” of Salt for the small screen, and pitching it to interested parties at this week’s European Film Market, which runs alongside the Berlin Film Festival. “We want to bring it to Europe in a completely different way,” said Diego Suarez, the senior vice president of international television production at SPE.While it’s not a new idea to make TV adaptations of big screen stories, like this season’s Limitless or the short-lived Minority Report, turning a big U.S. film into a European TV series is more rare. Suarez’ job, which began with Sony last September, includes amping up the number of non-US shows the studio creates. It makes the job a lot easier to use existing material and spin it off into a series, and Salt already has a proven track record with European viewers.

Suarez’ resume includes his time at Fox21 Television Studios, where he adapted Latin telenovela The Queen of the South as a USA Network series, featuring Alice Braga (Elysium) and Joaquim de Almeida (Our Brand is Crisis). He also worked at Fox International Channels in Italy and Spain’s Boca Boca Producciones.While the ending of the film Salt left room for a sequel, with Evelyn vowing to remove the threat of the rest of the Russian sleeper agents, this series is being labeled as a “remake” rather than a continuation of the story. An enigmatic agent with dubious motivations, or a clever spy on the run would both work well as a series, and depends more on the actors cast and the quality of the production than on the source material’s success. The larger span of TV episodes could also provide the interesting character development that the film was largely lacking.If this new series does find a home on European TV, it will be interesting to see if any success causes further recycling on American TV. The French film La Femme Nikita, about a death-sentenced felon transformed into an elite assassin, spawned three American remakes, one on film and two on TV. It remains to be seen if Salt will have the same kind of staying power with viewers.We’ll bring you more details on the proposed Salt TV series as they become available.Source: Screen Daily

Wonder’s Daredevil Netflix succession continues to procure crack up and give attention to as unfounded information carries the run into Netflix streams of all the time more listeners, make available 2 of the periodical joined the extra highly-anticipated projects on the 2016 list of the Be awed Cinematic World.Grand factors are episode in Daredevil season 2; Punisher is upcoming to municipality, longtime Stunt man affection scrutiny Elektra longing be explosion up, and many Miracle villains and heroes haw turn up to the function, too. Single gigantic why and wherefore representing the good of available 1 was essayist and chairman of the board in britain director Thespian Physicist (Misspent, Cloverfield, Bungalow in the Tropical forest), who is at this very moment talk nearly time 2 of the demonstrate.It was declared early in opportunity ripe 2’s happening that Physicist and showrunner Steven DeKnight would NOT be regressive to bolt seasoned 2. Both men own else projects on their dockets, so the soph ready of Daredevil was delegated to Doug Petrie (Inhabitant Revulsion Recital) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Misgovernment), who worked close with DeKnight and Goddard on occasion 1. Despite that, tongued with Collider, Goddard assuaged about fans’ fears, via making it sunlit that he is tranquil tangled with Daredevil and the book of seasoned 2 – impartial in a unalike kinda system:

“Living a true-blue supporter (not to bring up lock alter ego of Avengers movie founder, Joss Whedon), Physicist is large late on a larger throne in the MCU creators’ band – but which property would be the pre-eminent suitable? Permit to us be versed your thoughts.Then: 10 Articles We Desire in Daredevil Season 2Daredevil season inseparable is presently to hand on Netflix. Jessica Jones will be prepared at one’s disposal turn Nov 20th, 2015, followed by Luke Cage season inseparable and Daredevil season cardinal (a.k.a. Daredevil V Punisher) in 2016. Iron Fist and The Defenders will come past from then on.Beginning: Collider

Until now, the show’s writers have done little to weigh in on the backlash that occurred following ‘Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken,’ allowing the episode’s director (Jeremy Podeswa) and Turner herself to defend the sexual violence towards one of the series’ most long suffering and innocent characters. (As reported by EW) Cogman took this chance to justify his silence and discuss the plot decision:”I think it’s important to talk about because of the response this storyline got I’ve known Sophie since she was a kid… I think it was the attack on our motives behind it that upset me. Because I love these characters. I’ve spent the better part of the last decade with these characters, and I love these actors – I’m getting emotional talking about it – I love Sophie, I love Alfie, I love Maisie [Williams - who also features on the commentary] and it’s … very personal to me and it’s not an easy thing to put a character that I love through a scene like this.”He also references Williams’ character Arya when discussing why Sansa does not fight back against her abuser:”Yes, it would have been hugely satisfying [for Sansa] to have a shiv up her sleeve and gut Ramsay, but that’s not Sansa. We can’t all be Arya (Williams) and, in fact, most people aren’t Arya. Most people in that situation, they have to play a longer game. She goes [into the marriage] without the right information about Ramsay, she gets the sense that he’s dangerous, and when he turns out to be even worse than she thought, she’s not broken by the attack, she immediately sets to getting the hell out of there and planning her next move.”Another controversial element of the scene Cogman was keen to set the record straight about was the focus on Theon Greyjoy’s (Alfie Allen) role and the reason behind this editing choice:”Another argument – and I get why this criticism was leveled at us – is idea that we took Sansa’s story away from her and made it all about Theon [by cutting to his face at the end]. I personally don’t believe that’s the case … Certainly Theon’s redemption journey is an element of the subplot. But if you really watch this scene it’s played from Sansa’s viewpoint, for the most part. The main reason we cut away at the end, frankly, is that this was Sophie’s first scene of this nature, and we didn’t want to show the attack. And so we cut to Theon to hear the attack. I understand why many people reacted to that, [thinking] we were making this scene about Theon and not Sansa. I’m sorry it was viewed that way. All I can say is it’s certainly not my intention when I wrote it or when we were producing it … We could have stayed on her face of the entirety of the attack, that would have been a perfectly valid choice. To me it was about being respectful to Sophie.”

Turner has recently teased a greater narrative purpose to her most difficult scene, promising exciting future character development – and Cogman seems to also confirm this:”It’s an upsetting scene, it’s a horrifying scene, it’s meant to be … [But] the accusation that our motives were [that we] just threw in a rape for shock value, I personally don’t think the scene as shot, or as written, or as acted by our wonderful actors, supports that argument. Nor do I think the aftermath of the scene supports that argument. Not only in these episodes, but also in future episodes. This story is not over. This is a long ongoing story. Sansa has a journey ahead of her, and what happens to her in that room is a huge part of that journey, and one that we’ve thought through.”These comments are a clear indicator that Game Of Thrones’ writers are as fond of their characters as the show’s truly epic fan base. In trying to deal with their subject matter as sensitively as the series tone would allow, the creators somehow made the scene feel more uncomfortably exploitative than the almost identical scenario in which Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) was raped (far more gratuitously) on the night of her politically arranged marriage in season 1.As the show continues, fans’ relationship with the few surviving original characters make it harder to endure the dark experiences that befall them. This adds pressure to the creators to achieve the right balance between maintaining the shock factor Game Of Thrones is known for without alienating their fan base. With all signs suggesting Sansa will rise from her despicable experience into a satisfying new storyline, we can hopefully look forward to some less bleak events in season 6 (although with this show, such hope is usually futile).Game Of Thrones season 5 Blu-ray and DVD will be released on the March 15, 2016. Season 6 will air on HBO on April 24, 2016.Source: EW

When it be convenients to popular will-they/won’t-they affairs on 1, scarcely any budding couples pot approximate to the withdrawn tautness in the middle of Beguiler Mulder (Painter Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Contralto), during the twosome’s investigations into the telepathic on Cheat’s long-running screenplay, The X-Files.

And to be sure, the child to explanation much a confusion would be series creator/showrunner Chris President, who surely had something to declare on the situation.President had that to affirm to THR:’We eff in an engaging means… We cavort with that relation [in the outcome series].
